'Splinter Cell' anime series reportedly coming to Netflix

Splinter Cell
is finally getting revived but not in the format we're used to. Indeed, rather than a new video game installment, the series will be adapted into an anime for Netflix. The news of the partnership between Ubisoft and Netflix for this project comes from an exclusive Variety report. Note that the report mentions as the adaptation as an "anime series" rather than an "animated series", but no mention of any Japanese studios for the production was mentioned.

What is known is that Derek Kolstad, who wrote for the John Wick film franchise, will work as writer and executive producer on this Splinter Cell adaptation. Variety also mentions that "the series has received a two-season, 16 episode order at the streaming service".

Official statements from Netflix and Ubisoft have yet to be made but we'll likely hear more shortly.

I guess I can never write a haiku, then
Hmm that's actually a smart answer, didn't expected that!


However, my point stands!
"I guess I can never write a haiku"

(Link that you gave, is the point that i'm making actually. You hear the word "haiku", you think "Japan". "Poetry" is universal, "haiku" is not)

Well, in the same sense, no one is preventing you to make a animated movie in anime-style, but when you
say "Anime" its (at least for me) implying animations that originates from japan (its a Japanese word after all,
or Engrish..still it originates in Japan so lets call it Japanese for argument sake)
, and not from other countries, originally
Japanese and not, say, America.

So to answer your question:
Yes you can make poetry (if poetry is what you wanna make), no one is preventing you from that, but if you
like haiku, you can make haiku-style/inspired poetry.
Its the same thing basically, a poetry is a poetry, but its about being more understandable when talking
about it really.

So when you say "this is Anime", or "this is haiku", i immediately know it has Japanese origins, and when i hear
this is haiku-inspired poetry, or anime inspired poetry i know its NOT originating from japan.

And haiku is actually a poetry so...yes, you can make poetry, ofc! Same way that you can make Animations,
yes! I mean japanese people can also make haiku-inspired poetry also, but its about where you are from.

For us that are NOT from japan Anime is considered to originate from Japan, you wouldnt say for dexters laboratory that its anime, but you will for death note, its imediatly known its origins. Or american cartoons that are anime inspired you know they are not from japan.
and its much easier to understand the destinction for a talk among people. However, i dont think youre wrong though, but youre also not correct imo purely because of understanding and destinction sake.

Well anyway, i hope you now understand what i meant.


And i really appreciate your reply for giving me a different perspective of thinking. I like that!
As i said, very smart reply!

Trust me it is redubbed by social justice wierdos and it's just as bad the allfemale ghostbusters movie by paul fieg and that was a train wreck. as was the live action ghost in the shell movie.
Well tbh ghostbusters DID have to much PC and feminists bullshit propaganda, but it was a fun movie to watch overall. Felt fresh (i never liked originals that much anyway). As for GitH i havent watched that one...
But i guess the feminist and sjw naratives "kill of" movies, but not kill per se, they are still fun movies if you cut out or ignore those parts.

The femenist version was just an insult to the actual movies, I noticed that most of jokes are so over used the movie felt dry and devoid of actual good jokes.

Paul fieg doesn't know comedy in the ghostbuster universe.

sorry but I don't want to support creativity of such flat forms of entertainment.

but if you like it i wont judge you but me i'll admit im sticking to my guns and saying that movie sucks.

Well if you look at it through the lens of original than i guess it does sucks (although i was never a fan of original but watched it as a kid and it was somewhat fun)
Again, i guess it does suck compared to original.
I'm no director or someone who has any experience in directing movies whatsoever, but as a regular guy, it actually was interesting to me
because its fresh, minus bad jokes, putting down the guy assistant and making him dumb as hell,

Liking something or some aspects has nothing to do with support, its just being honest.

In truth they spent most of the budget on the special effects and the slime gag became a running joke and using overly used jokes that have a negative 100 out of 100 on laughter (of course unless your a femenist) i went to watch it with an open mind im sorry but paul fieg has NO idea on how to make a movie like ghostbusters. And I'm not saying that because of the originals success, I'm saying this because.

1. the movie bombed terribly! Don't beileve me check trailer it was the most disliked movie trailer on youtube in 2016
and not to mention the surviving actors fromthe original had to be "strongarmed" into the movie. Bill murray said he'd only be in if he was killed off as he thought the movies idea was just dumb!

2. The movie felt like if Scooby doo had a one night stand with slimer and it birthed this tumour of a movie.

ok Bridesmaids was ok but feigs adaptation of ghostbusters was terrible and should be left to directors that actually know the formula properly and not to some guy who's so far up his own ass and thinks this looks like it will make me alot of money, so i'll write an all female version with lack luster jokes and bitch at anybody that says it's not funny"
